I love the Topps Finest Collection. Always sharp looking cards, good names, good number of parallels and great looking autographs and patches. This year Topps kept the Finest tradition live and well! What can you expect out of a one Master Box (2 mini boxes).
1 Numbered Rookie Autograph Patch Card
1 Numbered Autograph Jumbo Relic Card
2 Atomic Die Cut Refractor Rookie Cards
Plenty of parallel cards throughout, you typically will average 1 per pack. Xfractors, Various Numbered Parallel Cards (Gold,Blue,Red, Atomic) and Regular Refractors.
You have great chances of getting a high end rookie auto and the second auto is likely to be a dud of a rookie, so two cards that you can expect to average at $40.00. You can also expect roughly 12 mid range value cards in each master box. These being Parallels and Hot Rookies. That is one per pack less the pack that contains the auto plus a couple of nice name rookies (Locker, Jones, Gabbert, Newton). If you sell while hot, you can expect these to average at about $5.75 a card. Then you are left with 46 base cards. Fortunatly Topps Finest has a good amount of Rookies and very notable names. Therefore I am placing a figure of .25 cents on each base card which I feel is fair for a high end product.
You can pickup Finest at a price anywere between $96 and $108. So the price point I used in my equation is $100.00. With this pricepoint the price per card is a respectable $1.67.
The resulting Weighted ROI Ratio is 1.61. I discounted the 1.61 by .05 due to the fact that it appears Topps chose to use a chainsaw to cut these cards. Some terrible fraying on many of the base cards. Luckily this did not appear to effect the Autographs or Refractors. The final Weighted ROI Ratio is 1.56 which results in a respectable B.
CASE RATIO
If you can score a case (which I did) for $760. It brings your price per card to $1.58. You can expect one case hit which I valued at $100. This results a Weighted ROI Ratio of 1.82. After the .05 discount for the rough edges on many of the cards. The resulting Weighted ROI Ratio is 1.77 and a final grade of A-.
